The curriculum is thoughtfully designed and provides a strong foundation. One of our favorite things is seeing all of the beautiful artwork she brings home. The teachers are kind, attentive, and truly care about each child's development and well-being.

Our family has been part of this Montessori school for the past three years. Our son started here…read morethree years ago, and our daughter joined a year ago. From day one, we have felt welcomed and supported. The teachers create a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to learn, grow, and become confident and independent. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact this school has had on our children and highly recommend it to other families.

I want to start by highly recommending The Goddard School, San Ramon and sharing our experience…read more I'd give more stars if that were an option! Moving from another city with a young child was a big step for us. It felt overwhelming, but we were comforted by Anju, the owner of The Goddard School. She was incredibly kind and patient, understanding our family's needs. The transition was made so seamless and welcoming for us. Right from the beginning, even before our child started school, Anju made sure we had all necessary documents, giving us ample time and accommodating our busy schedule. About the school and its activities: The team is fantastic, and the teachers are well-educated. There are tons of activities, all following a curriculum-oriented approach. We receive daily updates on books read (in case we want to share them at home), songs sung, circle time, outdoor play, and fun indoor activities when the weather doesn't allow outside time. Activities range widely--baking bread, painting, dancing, creative play, and so much more. With these daily updates, we feel connected and well-informed about our child's day. This school is a very happy place filled with positive reinforcements and encouragement, and our daughter had a wonderful time here. We will miss the school and only wish we didn't live so far away. Hence, I highly recommend this school for any parent looking for a supportive environment that promotes overall development for their child. Thank you so much, Anju and the entire team! And a special thanks for Andrea and Vaidehi (Class teachers of Parrots)!!

I need not have, because our experience with Building Kidz and all the staff/teachers here has been amazing. I highly recommend them, if you are looking for a place where your child will be nurtured in a safe and engaging environment. They make learning fun and creative. The weekly music and dance lessons are awesome and the 2 performances a year bring out the creative talents of kids as well as build their confidence (huge shout out to Ms. Hannah). The fire station visit, caring for a garden and planting seeds, fire safety training with Ms. Carla, science experiments with Ms. Dana were some of the highlights in the 4s class. The school's curriculum is fun and engaging and kids can learn and explore in a safe environment. As our kid will move to kindergarten this year they are also taking steps to prepare her for that next stage. A great big thank you to Ms. Jess, Ms. Surbhi, Ms. Carla, Ms. Dana, Ms. Wendy, Ms. Ritje, Ms. April, Ms. Avni, and Ms. Brijeeta.

This preschool feels like home as soon as you walk in the door with the friendly staff and a warm environment. My 2 year old actually begged me to put her in the full day program so she could hang out with her friends and teachers more! I TELL ALL MY FRIENDS TO JOIN YLA because it gave me my life back as a working Mom knowing my kids were in the perfect hands at YLA! We had my 5 year old daughter go through the program as soon as they opened and now my 3 year old has been there for two years and I will be SO sad the day she is too old to go!! Miss Amy, Miss Kayla and Miss Kelsey are 10/10!!

We absolutely love Young Learners Academy!…read more My 4-year-old son has been a student to all the teachers at YLA, starting from the 2's class with Ms. Camilla and now at the Preschool class with Ms. Nancy. I really cannot say enough about how kind and nurturing the teachers are here and how devoted they are to their craft. Trusting a place with the majority of your little one's day is definitely nerve wrecking as a first-time parent, especially with a "COVID baby," but I saw how much my son progressed in so many areas- emotionally**, academically, socially- as he attended YLA. (** super special thanks to the teachers for having to deal with my son's meltdowns and emotional wiles, even comforting me and coaching me through it!) My son has grown by leaps and bounds and they have been raised him through it! As I've been a child educator in various capacities, with my mom working as a preschool teacher and my aunt owning her own preschool, I have come to have pretty high standards for preschools and teachers. Yet, YLA is exceptional! Their crafts and activities are so fun and creative. They host the most epic events! They incorporate the Zoo-phonics and the Handwriting without Tears curriculum in engaging ways, and my son loves it! The facility is clean, spacious, and thoughtfully arranged. They communicate through the Brightwheels app so you can see pictures of what your little one is doing during the day; you can also use the app to check-in, message the staff, and pay tuition. Being a nurse, I'm also very pleased that they are committed to serving organic and healthier snacks throughout the day. I also chose this school's philosophy over a completely play-based model, because I thought my son would do best with some structure and consistency. That said, they do incorporate a lot of free time and free play and always tailor the activities to their age and level. What thrills me is how my son feels about school ("It's great!"), his excited attitude towards learning, but most of all that he gets to make wonderful memories in these formative years with all the wonderful, caring people at YLA.

Our daughter started at DHCS when she was two and she's now almost five. When we were looking for a…read morepreschool, we wanted a safe place where she could flourish creatively while also building the academic foundation she would need for kindergarten. We visited many other schools, but none of them made us feel like our child's happiness and safety were truly the priority. Many were Montessori programs with rigid classroom settings and rules that we felt were unnecessary for kids at this age. The family-run team at DHCS has always made us feel like partners in raising our daughter. Communication has been great and it's clear they really know each child individually. They've been flexible with schedule changes and even welcomed us back without requiring re-enrollment when we briefly tried a school closer to home after our second child was born. We continue to do the 30-minute drive each way because of how much benefit we've seen this school provide to our daughter. Over the years we've seen our daughter become more confident, social, and excited about learning, which has been wonderful to watch. They teach the kids about different holidays and cultures and always find a reason to celebrate. We also really appreciate how diverse the student body and teachers are, which helps create a welcoming environment where kids are exposed to many different backgrounds. They're not the cheapest school and not the most expensive, but for us it has absolutely been worth it. Every concern or piece of feedback we've provided has always been taken with great care and met with a professional, non-defensive attitude. A huge added bonus is the location -- the police station is right next door, which gives us extra peace of mind as parents. They also have a giant playground with all kinds of outdoor activities for the kids, and they strongly encourage outside play. The only downside is that they don't have a third location in Castro Valley or Hayward. One can dream... hint hint, Miss Angie and Miss Coco :)

Wonderful Child Care and Preschool!…read more Both of my children attend this center, and I couldn't be happier. The teachers are kind, caring, and truly dedicated to the kids' development. They focus on academics like math, science, and language, while also teaching good behavior, manners, and respect.

My younger one is starting kindergarten this year, and I'm confident he'll transition just as smoothly. Most importantly, my kids love going there every day.

Our son started at Redwood International Montessori 2 years ago. He is 4 now and is flourishing at…read moreschool. He can write from 1-50, knows quite a bit of Spanish, "reads" to the other kids and has learned so much more than I could've anticipated. He's an outgoing child and likes to goof around. The teachers give him space to be silly and can also authoritatively but compassionately reign him in. I know he'll be more than prepared for Kindergarten. The teachers also plan family events throughout the year such as Mothers and Fathers Day celebrations, concerts, grandparents day, and student birthday celebrations. They incorporate many days where the kids can bring items from home to share (such as hike day at school, bring your favorite book, etc.). Our son is always excited for these days. The location of the school is very convenient for our family. It's near 680 but not so close that you hear it. It's across the street from an area with swim lessons, gymnastics lessons, and indoor soccer, so our son always says "hi" to his school when we're going to activities there. Tuition is very comparable to other preschools, but this school offers helpful drop-off and pick-up times for two working parents. Not many preschools in the area offer the same times.

Long story short, after 4 months, more than 2/3 of her behavioral items, such as tantrum, difficulty in listening instructions, sharing with friends, etc, have been fixed and I can tell that even at our home. Our daughter loves her school, and is happy to go there everyday. The director Ms. Annagi has almost 40 years of experience in Montessori education. Other teachers (Ms. Yessania, Ms. Laxmi, Ms. Evelyn) are also very experienced. They know how to deal with problems of kids, and they guide kids to the right path without yelling or being frustrated. I saw that their tone of voice was calm but had discipline and charisma. Teachers are very communicative and always opened to discuss issues of children. If there's any issue, they give brief verbal report with advice when I pick her up. Also, the education of TRIMONT is well-balanced and well-organized. They give the monthly schedule filled with daily themes and focuses, and follow the schedule accordingly. Of course since it's Montessori school, each student learns by their own pace when it comes to phonics, math and other Montessori work, but they all learn various topics together which covers science, culture, art, geography, season, etc. Our 4.5 year old daughter already reads Kindergarten-level books, recognizes and writes numbers from 1-50, can even complete addition and subtraction. When we had a private conference before Thanksgiving holidays, they gave us a thorough assessment sheet about our daughter. We could easily understand her status and things she needs to learn more until Kindergarten. I'm very satisfied with TRIMONT, and would definitely recommend this school to others in area.

While our son attended TCDS, he received nurturing, high-quality care. I can't say enough good…read morethings about their 1s Room -- run by Ms. Keke (also the school's Assistant Director) and Mr. Aaron. Our son got to play and explore and create art and dance to his heart's content. He was ALWAYS happy at pick up. And, the amount of outside time he got was incredible. The 1s Room had a protected play area with a play structure, play houses, cars, and a sand box. He would also want me to stay to play with him at pick up, and that's how I had a chance to get to know Mr. Aaron and Ms. Keke so well. They are both kind, loving, generous adults -- anyone would be lucky to have their child cared for by them. When our son transitioned into the 2s Room, he had a hard time. The school's Director (Ms. Jill), along with Ms. Keke and Mr. Aaron, did everything that they could to smooth out his transition to his new teacher. They communicated with us at drop off and pick up and helped us support him from home. Tons of enriching activities, water play (on hop days), and outside time instilled our son with confidence and great social skills. We are grateful for his time at TCDS.

A special mention to Ms. Neeraja for maintaining the school so well and for always being approachable and supportive. She truly cares about the children and parents, and makes sure concerns are addressed thoughtfully and promptly. Another thing we truly appreciate is the flexibility and understanding with parents' timings and schedules. It really helps working families. Overall, we highly recommend this school to parents looking for a safe, caring, and supportive Montessori environment for their children.
